1987 Audi 5000 S review from North America
"Excellent value for your dollar"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front axles needed to be replaced at 160,000 miles because of torn boots.
Electrical problems affecting secondary systems such as license plate and dashboard lights.
General comments?
I was a little reluctant to purchase this car because of its reputation, but I'm so glad I did.
After 170,000 miles it still performs very well and is tremendous value.
Possibly one of the worlds most underrated cars from the 1980's.
